X-Plane 12 — Head to Head
iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC Computer Desktop SlateMR 267i (2024) – Intel Core i7-14700F vs iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC Computer Desktop SlateMR 267i – Intel Core i7-14700F
Comparing performance for X-Plane 12 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 55% GPU weighted
iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i (2024) RTX 4070 Super vs iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i RTX 4070 for X-Plane 12: 6.3-point gap favors the Super.
The 2024 SlateMR 267i scores 78.25/100 against the base model's 71.95/100 — a 6.3-point gap that translates directly to steadier frame times in X-Plane 12's most GPU-demanding scenarios. The RTX 4070 Super's additional shader throughput and the DDR5 memory bandwidth hold frame pacing together during VR city flyovers over photogrammetry-heavy regions like the Orbx TrueEarth PNW or dense EGLL approaches with AI traffic loaded, where the base RTX 4070 starts dropping frames under full render load. If your flying is mostly VFR cross-country legs at mid-range airports without VR, the base SlateMR 267i's RTX 4070 handles those sessions competently and sits at a lower mid-range price point.
iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC Computer Desktop SlateMR 267i (2024) – Intel Core i7-14700F, RTX 4070 Super, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD
Choose iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i (2024) RTX 4070 Super, 32GB DDR5 if you fly VR sessions over photogrammetry zones or run dense EGLL/KLAX approaches with full AI traffic and want consistent frame pacing without dialing back rendering settings.
iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC Computer Desktop SlateMR 267i – Intel Core i7-14700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12GB, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe SSD
Choose iBUYPOWER SlateMR 267i RTX 4070 12GB, 16GB DDR4 if your X-Plane 12 sessions are primarily non-VR VFR cross-country legs at mid-tier airports and budget is the deciding factor over peak GPU headroom.
The 2024 SlateMR 267i with the RTX 4070 Super and 32GB DDR5 is the clear buy for X-Plane 12 — its 6.3-point lead is GPU-driven and directly felt in VR and photogrammetry workloads where X-Plane 12 taxes the render pipeline hardest.
